2016 Legislative Wrap Up- Part I of V- Fuel Tax Legislation

Wednesday, May 4th, marked the close of the 2016 Alabama Legislature’s Regular Session. Legislators passed the constitutionally required appropriations bills fairly early in the session which left time for debate on several high profile issues. Many of these issues were not resolved which causes speculation that a special session may be called later in the year.

A detailed analysis of several legislative initiatives will be discussed over the next couple of days; I- Fuel Tax, II- BP Settlelment, III- Prison Construction, IV- Appropriations, and V- Medicaid.
